Starting with iOS 8 there is now a settings launch URL to send the user directly to the settings for an App. The code snippet below will do the trick: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]]; If you’ve got any functionality that the user can say no to, it’s guaranteed they will, and then they’ll send you angry letters and one-star reviews when it doesn’t work, you’ve all been there right? So make sure you put on your iOS 8 upgrade checklist putting in a helpful remediation option wherever deniable things can fail! -- Niraj Title Comments From this blog, a wonderful tip: http://www.alexcurylo.com/blog/2014/09/01/tip-open-settings-url/ Open Settings URL A quick tip I picked up from WWDC 2014 session 715 on User Privacy.

Let us know of your App and we shall download it to take it for a drive! CakeBit had mentioned he has an app with a Settings screen. I encouraged him to share his technique and to post a Tutorial on how to make a Settings screen within the Buzztouch framework. -- Niraj Comments If any of the Developers out there have made a Settings screen for their app, please reply on this post.
